To all whom iv may concern.-

Be it known that I, EDUARD KUECHLE, a citizen of the Unit-ed States, residing at New York, county of New York, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Metal Lattice-WVork, fully described and represented in the following specification and the accompanying drawings, forming a part of the same.

The object of the present invention is to provide an improved construction of woven. lattice-work for counters, elevator-shafts, &c., and an improved twisted metal strip for use in such constructions.

To this end my invention consists in the improved metal strip and metal lattice-work, which will now be fully described in connection with the accompanying drawings, illustrating the same, and then specifically pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a plan view of a section of 1attice-work embodyin g my invention in the preferred form, and Fig. 2 an edge view of a single strip.

The strip a is formed with fiat portions 1 at suitable distances apart, in accordance with the size of the meshes desired in the lat tice-work. These fiat portions 1 are separated by twisted portions 2, which preferably are formed of one or more full twists, so that a sharp bend of the strip on each side of the flat portion is secured. The length of the Hat strips of the usual width and strength.

\Vhat I claim is- 1. A metal strip having flat portions of a length substantially equal to the width of the strip and twisted portions between said flat portions, substantially as described.

2. A metal latticeqvork formed of strips woven together and having fiat engaging portions of a length substantially equal to the width of the strip and twisted portions between said fiat portions, substantially as described.

8. A metal strip having flat portions of a length substantially equal to the width of the strip and one or more full twists between said flat portions, substantially as described.

t. A metal lattice-work formed of strips woven together and having fiat engaging portions of a length substantially equal to the width of the strip and one or more full twists between said portions, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
